The Wario franchise is a spin-off from the Mario Brothers franchise featuring one of Mario's arch-villains, Wario. The Wario franchise encompasses several very different series of games whose one common factor is Wario as the title character. Since Wario is still a Mario character, and plays a major role in the Mario series, the line between a Mario Brothers game and a Wario game can be blurred significantly.
History
In 1993 Wario became the central character of the Super Mario Land series in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, which ultimately led to a spin-off, Wario Land series. Wario got an overhaul as a character with the WarioWare series in 2003 which featured "microgames" played in quick succession.
List of Titles
For purposes on the Gamehiker Wiki, any game which features Wario in the title will be considered a Wario game. All other games Wario plays a role in, but is not featured in the title will be considered a game in the appropriate franchise.
